Jay Cutler Makes Me Smile

We've all seen some peculiar break-ups in high school, but this is getting ridiculous.

I remember when me niece was young. I was eating some Oreos and offered her one. She refused, then whined to my sister that I didn't give her any. I then offered her some Oreos a second time, and she still declined. She was 6 years old.

March 15- Cutler is upset about the Broncos trying to trade him, demands trade to somehow prove his point. (?)

March 31- Cutler falls off the face of the Earth, Broncos decide to give in to his trade request. (??)

The Broncos then acknowledged their error? of trying to trade Cutler, and decided to give in to his trade demands. Awesome. I feel like this situation belongs in an episode of The Simpsons....

She said something, but she was kind of in a rush to get Bart to the emergency room.Homer: Hmmm, so you wanna take the bus, huh? I don't know, that's a pretty big decision. Lisa: Well, if it would put your mind at ease I could take a limousine. But that would cost $200.Homer: $200?! Ohh, isn't there any other way? Lisa: Hmmm, I guess I could take the bus if you think that's a better idea.Homer: Frankly, I do. I know you had your heart set on the limo but sometimes daddy's have to say no, honey! I'm afraid you're gonna have to take the bus. Lisa: [fakely sad] Alright.Homer: Atta girl, I love you s--"
